Scores for each component of the survey are then used to calculate an index where any number over 50 indicates that more homebuilders view conditions as good than poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the past three months, homebuilder sentiment has hovered around the 83 to 84 level, roughly the same rate as it was in the spring of 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While consumer demand remains high, experts say that growing inflation concerns, as well as ongoing supply chain disruptions, contributed to the index\u2019s slight decrease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHigher material costs and lack of availability are adding weeks to typical single-family construction times,\u201d NAHB chairman Chuck Fowke said in a statement. \u201cNAHB analysis indicates the aggregate cost of residential construction materials has increased almost 19% since December 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.housingwire.com\/articles\/homebuilder-confidence-falls-to-lowest-level-since-august\/?__hstc=43385018.c1200c13b5ffe2d787c2a413a4fe14b9.1635527061029.1642191042077.1642518887926.73&amp;__hssc=43385018.1.1642518887926&amp;__hsfp=3076257690\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">three months<\/a>&nbsp;of decline, homebuilder confidence began to steady in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.housingwire.com\/articles\/homebuilders-are-targeting-the-exurbs-and-inner-suburbs\/?__hstc=43385018.c1200c13b5ffe2d787c2a413a4fe14b9.1635527061029.1642191042077.1642518887926.73&amp;__hssc=43385018.1.1642518887926&amp;__hsfp=3076257690\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">September<\/a> 2021, eventually rising to 84 in <a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.realtrends.com\/blog\/builder-confidence-ends-the-year-on-a-high-note\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">December 2021<\/a>, which was still six points lower than the all-time high set in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nahb.org\/news-and-economics\/housing-economics\/indices\/housing-market-index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">November 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NAHB chief economist Robert Dietz says that labor and supply shortages, as well as rising interest rates, will negatively impact housing affordability this year, but the current lack of existing home inventory and solid buyer demand will continue to support the need for new construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The HMI index gauging current sales conditions remained at 90, while the gauge measuring sales expectations for the next six months dropped two points to 83. Also showing a two point drop was the component charting traffic of prospective buyers which fell to 69.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regionally, the three-month moving averages for regional HMI scores dropped one point in the Northeast to 73, and increased one point in the Midwest, South and West, bringing the regional indexes to 75, 88 and 88, respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Higher material costs and lack of availability are adding weeks to typical single-family construction times, according to homebuilders<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34740,"featured_media":4822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3255],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1760],"class_list":["post-2765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.4 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -
